Tax saving ideas

Tax intelligence that sees every account.

Wash-sale rules and tax-lot decisions don't stop at one brokerage. AStar checks across everything you've connected, so the blind spot most tools have doesn't cost you at tax time.

Tax intelligence across every account

Tax rules like the wash-sale rule apply across all of your accounts, at every brokerage — not just the one you're looking at. Most portfolio tools can only see one account at a time and miss this entirely.

Cross-broker wash-sale flags

Sell a losing position in one account and buy it back in another within 30 days, and it's still a wash sale under IRS rules. AStar checks across every connected account.

Tax-lot-aware sell suggestions

AStar can point to the specific lot — and the specific account — that minimizes the tax hit, instead of a generic "reduce this position" suggestion.

Short-term vs. long-term preview

See the estimated tax character of a sale before you make it, so a one-day difference in holding period doesn't catch you by surprise.

Tax-loss harvesting opportunities

AStar surfaces positions sitting at a loss that may be worth harvesting, factoring in holdings across accounts so a buy-back elsewhere doesn't trigger a wash sale.

These are estimates, not tax advice. AStar isn't a tax professional, and every figure shown is informational. Confirm anything material with a licensed tax advisor before you file or trade on it.

The sale was at Schwab, the purchase is at Fidelity — and it is still a wash sale. Flagged before you buy, with the disallowed amount and the day count.

Why this only works across every account

A wash sale that slips through because the repurchase happened at a different broker, or a sell decision made without knowing which account holds the cheaper tax lot — these gaps only exist because your accounts aren't usually looked at together.
